Hello Family, I pray your day has been fruitful in many ways. Please join me in prayer,
Heavenly Father, we stand before You and all of Your creations offering thanks for each creation and Your guidance that help us to live more productive lives. From You we are blessed beyond belief each day and we offer you thanks.
Our brothers and sisters who are weakened from sickness or illness seek Your blessings and healing hands that will direct them back to good health. Others who face financial issues or marital problems seek You for a hedge of protection to keep out the evilness that wants to torment us in so many ways. We offer thanks for Your healing hands and arms of protection for us.
Jesus died, shed blood upon the cross, was buried and ascended into heaven for us, for our sins. He is there for any or all of us that seek His name and proclaim him Lord and Savior. I am a sinner Lord and I come to you to repent the past, so that I may live closer to You than ever before. I give my life to You and ask for new life. With that life comes a heart filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and instructions to go forth and share Jesus’ miracles with other, to lead them back to Him no matter the sin, for He will forgive all who are searching for salvation, let this be the day.
Father as we stand before You I pray we are doing things in a manner that makes You happy. I pray that we continually seek You for advice, for counsel, for encouragement, and for direction, for You are the One on High. May our actions and words provide You with great joy as we work with diligence in keeping to Your Word and expectations. In the name of Christ Jesus we pray….AMEN
Welcome to another Saturday Family, I hope my words will touch someone in a way that will bring them closer to God and help them find their Savior and Lord. When you look at your watch (if you still wear one) you see the seconds ticking away, maybe the minutes passing by, but for God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years just a day. All too often we are needing or wanting something on our schedule, something that is infinitesimally small to God. Oh yes He pays attention to our prayers; he pays attention to what we need in our lives to exist and yes he does provide, but at the moment He knows is right for us, not for our brother, or our neighbor but right for us.
Many of us have learned that it is not prudent to sit and wait on this blessing, just as it isn’t practical to sit and wait upon the return of Jesus. God expects us to be fruitful in our work, He watches and smiles when we find success. He is there to build a hedge of protection for us when we are threatened. Only he knows time frames, only He knows when it becomes appropriate for us to celebrate good fortunes and blessings that are answered along with prayers.
He seeks that moment when He knows we will benefit the most, the time in which He sees us seeking the Lord and bringing other sinners to Him. It is the time in which we take the time to do God’s work that we are often rewarded, so do not sit idle waiting for the reward, continue to the work we are all called to perform and do it to the best of our abilities.
Repenting our sins may seem an easy task; living as the Lord expects us is another matter; and for more bringing other sinners before Him is just totally out of one’s character. I’ve learned though that sinners come in all shapes and sizes, each has their own set of sins and it can be so rewarding when we just simply share what we already know about the Lord and God in a simple conversation and all too often the conversation may have not even started in that direction but as if a bell tolls we sometimes scare ourselves in how we can share faith with another brother or sister. As much as I don’t mind talking in front of almost any audience, I will get clammy when I share my faith with others, it’s as though the devil has turned up the heat somewhat because he doesn’t appreciate the direction of our conversation, but I know the Lord is on my side and we shall win the battle. We may not win every skirmish, but we will win the battle, Jesus died to ensure that. That adds to my faith, I pray it adds to yours as well.
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. 2 Peter 3:8-9
Go in Peace
Blessings to you all
Aloha
Randy
